Drop Off and Pickup Loop
It is really important that you not utilize our bus loop as our buses have gotten stuck behind cars this past week and it creates an unsafe situation for our learners who are leaving the building. Parents, please do not use the lane behind our staff cars for pick up and drop off. We had one staff vehicle dented last week and have seen the cars blocking the buses through this method as well.
Reminder: No Lunch Delivery Services
Thank you!
AP Exam Ordering ****New Process For This Year****
The first thing to note is that College Board has created online resources for learners to access materials that enhance their work in classes. All AP facilitators will be sharing join codes with their learners this week to help them get set up in that system. Before learners are able to join classes though, they will need to sign up for or remember their myap college board account. Information on how to access or set up their accounts is available here.
When learners join with the class codes online, they will need to select whether they intend to take the test. Learners are able to change their minds on that question, but this will give us a good head count of who is actually planning on taking the AP exam.
Registering and Paying For Exams
Regular registration ends on October 31st. The fee to take the test is $94 and can be paid online using SchoolPay or in person on designated dates (Dates will be posted at the beginning of September and will include some dates in September and October). We can not separate the fee into different payments and will need to collect the entire fee for each exam at one time. If you need assistance with payment for financial reasons, please let us know. Please understand we will not be able to give refunds after October 31st. Learners who register for exams after October 31st will have to pay an additional $40 for registration and must do so by March 4th. I know that is a steep late fee but that is what College Board assesses us for a late fee.
Building Hours
Parent drop off loop is on the North side of the building (where the faculty parking lot is). Please utilize this loop as the front if where our buses
